New Admins, Server Upgraded

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ca/post/1044064

As you may have already noticed, 3 new admins have been added. Welcome @[email protected] , @[email protected] , and @[email protected]! There are also many more people that are helping behind the scenes as well. They have many years of experience moderating various subreddits, and I believe that they can bring lemmy.ca to the next level.

We have been collaborating so that they will be taking over hosting this instance. When I initially volunteered to take over this instance early in 2022, I was thinking it would just be a hobby project, and I really had no idea what I was getting myself into. With the surge of new users in the past few weeks, and potentially a lot more to come soon, I decided that I don't have the time or energy required to dedicate to running this site, and it just so happened that they were looking for a new home too.

@[email protected] and I will stay on as an admin while we transition to a new server, just to make sure everything goes smoothly, but I plan on removing myself as an admin once everything is settled. I will try and stay active here as a user, because I believe that lemmy and the fediverse can become something great!

I have also suspended donations for the time being, but thank you to all that have already donated. All your current donations will be transferred to the new admins.

I have also upgrade the server to 8 CPU's and 8 GB, since it seemed to be struggling with an influx of new users tonight, so sorry about the brief downtime!

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to ask!
